Conference Title Game

[GreenN'walinsVet]

Do we as a Program benefit directly in any way by being in the title game?  Financially or otherwise?

I get the exposure and such, but I'm asking do we receive any $$$ directly by making the game?  Also, i assume the conference picks up the travel costs?

FAU would benefit from ticket sales... but by the time they staff the game, & <10k people show up, it's likely a wash for them.

They'd be lucky to call it a wash if their attendance this week is anything like our last game there.  I'm guessing it's a huge loss.

So, what do y'all think the attendance for the championship game would be if it were played at the following:

1) neutral site - Memphis

2) neutral site - Shreveport

3) dream site - Denton

Yes.  There is a conference/TV payout and a revenue split on tickets.

1) Better than Boca

2) Much better than Boca

3) 50% more people than Boca AKA way better than Boca.

Hopefully it's Denton next year.

Baby steps.
